Bought a collection of mostly Indonesian weapons but there were some items from other regions that I liked and also purchased - but without any knowledge on them.
Here a complete Tulwar.
Seems the handle has had inlaid silver.
Blade seems a good quality - cannot see if it is wootz - has been sharpened a few times I think. No signatures visible.
Sheath is simple but in reasonable condition.
What region/period are we looking at? All input more than welcome!
Kind regards, Erik
